My deepest condolences to this family. Certainly Kay did have a distinct, inherent matriarchal quality about her and I imagine her family to be so very devastated with this sudden loss. I worked with Kay in corrections and she was deeply respected and loved by all of us at ORV. I remember the day I met her for we opened that institution and watched it close. She had a presence one was immediately aware of in a room and blessed by the conversation that followed if one was wise enough to engage. Make no mistake, she is someone you never forget. I am so sorry that I won't have the opportunity to visit with her as I moved away in 2011 but plan to come back to visit some of my friends someday. Officer Kay Kelly was always someone I considered a sincere friend. What a loss to her family.
